Beauty Marketing & Product Development

Whether students want to start their own beauty brand or work for an established brand, courses in marketing, product development, and the business of beauty ensure they develop the skills necessary to be future innovators and leaders in the beauty industry.

Classes are taught by instructors with extensive industry experience, and students engage in real-world, hands-on projects that immerse them in the diverse categories—from color cosmetics to fragrance, skincare, hair care and the growing men’s category—driving the ever growing, global beauty industry.

In 1969, we were urban pioneers starting a one-of-a-kind college with two Downtown L.A. classrooms. We have grown to become a student body of 3,600 and more than 70,000 graduates worldwide. Our driving force has been to stay focused on our goal: to create an educational environment that fuses student desires with career realities. We are always thinking about how we can adapt and expand to meet the challenges ahead.

We offer accredited Master’s, Bachelor’s and Associate Degree programs in design and creative business. Our students collaborate on special Industry Partner Projects with brands like Nike, Murad, Athleta, Signal Snowboards, Lacoste, GUESS, and TOMS. Part-time work and internships with companies like J Brand Jeans, Stila, Topshop, Victoria’s Secret, and Adidas are an integral part of the curriculum. Our faculty are talented industry professionals who bring their experience and connections into the classroom, creating a dynamic, career-focused learning environment.
